To Hazel,Kevin and Patricia, Just a note for you all, that you are all in my prayers at this sad time. Your father will be missed by many people including myself..When I drove for Fairfax County Public Schools I would see him in his congressional bus on Mark drive or by Falls Church High School and he would always wave, I dont think he had a clue who I was but he always waved to me.. He really loved his job and his smile showed it.I will miss that smiling face.. Jenny Knotts
